Living on the Edge- Jonas Brothers

Hi. My names Libby.

Libby Erika Jonas

I'm 9 years old. My parents and Frankie died in a robbery only yesterday. At exactly 9:24pm. It's now the next day and 9:24am. 12 hours since their death.

Ive been crying for 12 hours straight. Especially because of Frankie. He was my twin brother. And when you've had a twin and been with them for nine years and in the same room; It's terrible to know that my bestest friend is gone. I have no friends at school and no one talks to me. That's why I'm glad it's summer.

In our parents will, it's say that I will stay with Kevin, Joe, and Nick. They will be my legal guardians.

Right now we are on our way home from the hospital. My body shook as I sat in the back, staring out the window. Tears rolled down my cheeks, and silence filled the car. Nobody was talking. I didn't know what to say and I didn't know what to do. Daddy is gone and so is Momma. Frankie was my closest friend and I will never see him again.

When we got home I slowly walked into the house, it seeming empty. No one was here to greet us home. I instantly ran to my room, locking the door. My body fell onto my bed, as I sobbed my eyes out. I lifted my head and looked across the room to see Frankie's side. All of his stuff was there. I climbed under the sheets, and hugged my pillow, crying into it.

A knock was placed on my door. "Libby? Sweetie, open up." Kevin spoke. I ignored him, crying into the material. After a while the knocking had stopped. Even though my door was locked, it eventually was opened.

They found the key to the door.

Three places sunk in my mattress, a hand was placed on my back, as I laid on my stomach. "Libby? Come on angel, talk to us." Joe spoke. I sniffed and shook my head. Someone stroked my brown hair, calming me. I felt arms around my waist and someone laid next to me. "Please baby?" Nicks voice said softly. I turned my head towards him and he cooed as he saw my red eyes. I was brought into his lap and I broke down into sobs as he comforted me. "Hey hey hey. Shh. It's okay it'll all be alright." They all said, Joe and Kevin coming closer. "He's gone!" I cried. They all knew I was talking about Frankie. They knew just how close we were and that we literally did everything together. "It's ok Libs. We're here." Kevin spoke. I wrapped my arms around Nick, hugging him tightly. Everyone knew out of the older boys, something clicked with me and Nick and that we were super close. I don't know why. I soon stopped crying, and fell asleep to the boys singing to me.

It's been two weeks since they died and I literally talk to no one. I haven't said a word since it had happened. I rarely leave my room and food doesn't get into my body that often.

I just want them back. Especially Frankie. I miss his stuff. Kevin, Joe, and Nick have packed away more than half of Frankie's stuff. They put it all in the attic. Mom and Dad's stuff to is put away. Only their room, comforter, and bathroom stuff is left. Now the other side of the room is just a bed. No more posters, or toys, not anything is left. It's all in boxes.

My door opened and Joe walked in. He kneeled down in front of me next to my bed. I refused to make eye contact. It made it harder when he placed his hand on my cheek, the pad of his thumb rubbing soothing lines and shapes onto my cheek. "Libby. Please talk to us. We just want to hear your voice and see the old Libby back. We haven't heard you talk in two weeks" He begged. My eyes were met with his but I said nothing. He sighed kissing my forehead. "Lunch is ready to come eat." He said standing up and walking out. I slid out of my blankets and slowly walked down stairs. When I entered the kitchen, Nick and Kevin gave me a small smile. I sat at the table, waiting for food.

Soon a plate was placed in front of me. Kevin walked by and kissed the top of my head. I lifted my fork gently, and played around boredly with the Macaroni. "Come one Libs. It's your favorite, Mac and Cheese. Eat up." Nick said. I responded with nothing, and continued doing whatever. Eventually I ate some but only a few bites. I was full easily. When I was done with the couple bites I ate, my feet carried me back upstairs and into my room.

Hours went by and I did the same thing I have been doing. Just staring at the wall. Eventually, dinner rolled around and I went back downstairs to eat. After eating a few bites, I placed my fork down, being done. "Go take a bath Libby and then it will be time to go to sleep." Kevin said. Usually, I would beg to stay up a little longer but I haven't argued or said a word in two weeks so it doesn't matter. I slid off my chair and hurried upstairs, taking a quick bath.

When I was done, I changed myself into pajamas, brushing my teeth. I felt bad. I wanted to talk to them so badly but I couldn't. It hurt so bad to know they were gone and I just didn't want to talk. But maybe it will be ok if I do. Because I have them. They will talk to me and love me just as much as mom and dad. That's when I made the decision to talk to them.

My feet padded down the steps, and I made my way into the living room where they were standing and talking. They didn't notice my small body standing in the back. "Goodnight." I said barely audible. Though I was quite, they all snapped their heads towards me, shocked I said anything. "W-What?" Nick stuttered out. "Goodnight." I said looking up at them. "Oh Libby!" They said running towards me. Joe was the one to pick me up and I soon wrapped my arms around his neck holding him tightly. "Oh babygirl. Thank you so much for talking." They said. I clung to Joe, no words coming out. I just missed them. even though they have been here I just missed my brothers. I haven't been very nice to them lately.

They brought me upstairs into my room. "I'm sorry." I said bashfully once we sat down. "Aw Libbs it's ok. You were just sad." Kevin said. I leaned on Joe, hugging him. He wrapped his strong arms around me, kissing the top of my head. "I love you." I whispered quietly. They all smiled. "We love you too."

"Go to sleep baby. We'll see you in the morning." My eyes shut and soon I was halfway asleep. They all stood up, kissing me goodnight. Nick was the last one to tell me goodnight, so he stayed a little longer. As he turned to leave I grabbed his hand. "Nicky?" I asked softly. He smiled, bending down. "Yeah Libs?" He smiled. "Can I sleep with you tonight?" He sighed dramatically. "Oh, I guess." He said sarcastically. I giggled and soon he smiled too. "I'm just kidding. Of course you can sleep with me." He said lifting me out of the bed. Before we left he grabbed my stuffed bear Frankie got me. It was the only thing I had left of him that wasn't packed away.

Nick carried me down the hall and into his room. "I really am sorry Nicky." I cried a couple tears strolling down my cheeks as I was laid in his bed. He pulled the comforter up, tucking it around me. His thumb removed my tears, keeping his hand on my face. "Libby don't cry, it's ok. I promise. We know you're upset." I smiled as he kissed my forehead. "I'll be right back." He said walking into his bathroom to get ready for bed. I closed my eyes snuggling into the warm comforter. It smelled like Nick and that was a comforting smell.

My body was half asleep when Nick came back into the bed. He placed a kiss to the corner of my eye. "I love you Libby." He said sincerely. My eyes fluttered a bit. "I love you too Nick." He smiled holding me. Nick was always sweet. He liked to cuddle too which is why I generally slept with him when I was scared. I like to cuddle with my brothers because they are nice and comfort me. He leaned over turning off the lamp letting darkness fill the room. Soon I fell asleep finally somewhat happy again.
